Victory 03:21
Coming around the final turn Headed down the home stretch These last three laps simply blurred vision Behind me The moment of truth The vision of years past The moment in time that represents Everything lived for is now My face is lined with tears of joy As my chest breaks the tape Another obstacle conquered Another agenda promptly met So I lift my head and scream to the sky My arms held high in victory Symbol of beginning and of end I look to see what's next for me What will I do? What will I see? I look again What's next for me? Brimming with excitement and pride Time stills as I live the moment I conquered the final turn I paced the home stretch That last ecstatic mile Simply a blurred vision of the past

Here we are on the threshold of the future Holding tightly each other’s hands Eyes swollen from long nights spent talking Mentally wandering Searching Groping for the doorknob in the dark Looking for the answer Desperately searching Lying on my back gazing up at the sky Shaping the clouds to fit my requirements Not shapes that they are but shapes that I want them to be Wanting to fly high into the sky Only to have my wings melt From the heat of the midday sun And I fall crashing Suddenly Violently To the ground and I pick myself up And prepare to fly again

Driven 04:26
It was a straight shot down I-75 14 long hours of driving And plenty of alone time Roaring through the night Streetlamps marking towns in the darkness Winding up and down the mountains Wandering through the fields of grain Daydreaming past the herds of cattle Struggling through the pouring rain I drive exhausted and alone Across the miles toward the sunny bay Just for the glimmer of hope that someday I’ll see you again Can’t you see that I’m not gonna die Not gonna die Not gonna die Asleep at the wheel is no way to drive When you’re doing 90 down I-75 It was a long day at work Worked the 7-5 Had class in the evening But I’m not gonna die (no way) No Doze and Chocolate and coffee and Mountain Dew and McDonalds and Slim Jims and Steak-N-Shake and Megadeth to get me by Can’t you see that I’m not gonna die Not gonna die Not gonna die Asleep at the wheel is no way to drive When you’re doing 90 down I-75

Strange days are invading my space controlling my thoughts and spinning my mind the sunrise blazing through my window is getting hotter, hotter yet frying our brains and soldering our fragmented thoughts into panoramic memory When those memories come to pass messages flash before my eyes showing a gap of time and where did it go? Where did it go? Repressed to a dark corner of the mind or simply forgotten? Who is to say, are you? are you? Stay away from me You aren't to say, are you? are you? You are the lapse in my memory Stranger days without a past and nothing to stack my future upon Can you stack something on nothing or is there always a starting point from which to build? Does my randomness blind you, haunt you, hate you, make you feel the fragmenting me? Feel me, feel me, feel me, can the world feel me? Who is to say? Who is to say, are you? are you? Stay away from me You aren't to say, are you? are you? You are the one fragmenting the life in me

Headache 05:36
Two halves made whole in time The parts slammed with such force that I'm not sure if the hinges are in place anymore Replacing the pieces of my imploding life Headache... the real danger lies in the uncovering. Gotta pull it together Two are here but only one can stay Gotta keep it together The pressure is building, building everyday The stage was set right in front of me Both sides staring me in the face My mind was flooded with all my memories Memories which now stood in front of me But as the stage began to fade I felt part of my life follow I stared as so much of me passed on Drifted on to the other side Gotta pull it together Two are here but only one can stay Gotta keep it together I feel half of me drifting, drifting, drifting away Flying away Passing away

No More 04:08
Shut up and listen for a change You're always foaming at the mouth Never paying attention to the world around you Can't you see what's going on? Your life's a blinded dreamworld Open your eyes and shut your face and give your life a chance Slave to that rush, think again... That rush starts a spiral spinning down, ever spinning down Too late? It's never too late, but refuse to commit yourself to turning it around, And you'll keep spinning down, ever spinning down Get out of my face with your tugging and your pathetic whining I'm not going to hold your hand on the way down You have to do this one alone Crutches help to stand for a while But to get back in the game You have to do this one alone And don't point the finger at me It's far past the time for blame It's time for action, yes it is, and your freedom is the name of the game So put away your vices It's time for sacrifices I won't be there anymore Don't look to me for answers Cause I won't be there anymore No more No more No more!

Fallen to my knees at the sight the memory is still imprinted, burned into my eyes I only stared forward, then into my hands, then up at the sky and my mind went blank Those around said I screamed but I cannot remember I only see the image branded on my mind An image that will never fade Still I look above Father, where is your mercy? Have you left us, Father? Can you see what's going on? Must life be a constant test of faith? I remember thinking that there must be no god as the scene unraveled in front of me the ground shook and the walls came tumbling down and the bodies, oh the bodies, strewn about like litter from some morbid baseball game The sirens and screams still somehow sound like they're right in front of me Pulling me from my knees to the side of the road Where I laid, trying to wipe that dream away but it would not fade Father, where is your mercy? Have you left us, Father? Can you see what's going on? Must life be a constant test of faith?

The Flood 05:36
That February night must have lasted for years The flood of tears matched that of the rain outside So much pain, but what is the answer The answer that I'm looking for is nowhere to be found Finding my way through the maze Blindly chasing you through the haze Is this the future or just a phase Or am I simply a head case? Please stop the rain from falling I can't seem to stop it anymore The fight I once had has somehow Turned it's back on me I'll never feel the same way I did before It keeps getting louder and softer Louder and softer The rain keeps on mouthing the rhymes Rhyming in rhythm the rhymes with no end The rhythm calls me back to you again

Faded 05:17
Never thought I'd see the day You looked at me this way Hurt disguised poorly behind indifference and I'm left to sort the pieces of this bizarre friendship Never thought it would get this far out of reach At times I feel lost for words No answers, no questions, only confusion Wondering how something so different Became something so distant.... Broken Scarred Faded I remember when we used to sit side by side Conversations long into the night about our lives We leaned on each other when it was needed most I don't remember when it became Broken Scarred Faded Was I that selfish? When did our stone throwing shatter our glass houses? When did the difficult become broken beyond repair? Is there anything left to say?

Thrown his questions to the wind Jimmy accepts his fate in blind faith Forced in pursuit of destiny Does it matter anymore? His journey's descended upon different roads than originally forseen Time has shed a varied light upon the outlook of his future unable to change his fate or see beyond tomorrow Acceptance of responsibility is the only answer Finally taking hold of the flame After what seemed like years of endless contemplation Accepting the facts that face his life As his journey finds him at a fork in the road How could he have known it would come to this? Standing emotionally naked, victorious Staring down roads only interrupted by the horizon Nervous energy tingling all around him Jimmy distinctly remembers being reluctant to grab The reins of his future, his destiny But that time has long since passed, his future's now a journal Empty paper waiting for the future to be inscribed but already with a life and a meaning beyond rationalization Jimmy no longer wants to run away His challenges to be addressed with vigor and life But there are still decisions to be made...

Transformed, stronger and focused A deadly combination Look at me now Do you see the vigor Do you feel the vibe I have returned. Love me, hate me, feel me, take me To the place Ive longed to go Its been so long that Ive been gone And I cant stay away anymore. I have returned. Out of the fog Out of the haze A beacon in the distance Has been calling my name Beckoning me to return Back to the front Did you hear me say I have returned. Take notice I have been gone too long And the embers of my past Have found their glow again My frustration over wasted years And aggravation over pointless fears Has found its voice again And you will hear it over and over and over again I have returned.

I stood there in the waiting room Tears rolling down my face The doctors words fading into silence As I stood there in a daze With my head in my hands I again replayed the day We shouldn't have been there We should've been miles away The chamber was loaded and the wheel spun round Fate had decided that this is how it would go down I never even saw her I never even had a chance To ease up on the trigger or take a second glance I'm the Gun Focused and deadly I had the target in my sights I drew in my breath Ready to bring the hammer down I closed my eyes as I let it fly But there was such a strange sound The sound I heard cannot be described in words in words I'm the Gun The gun was fired and the damage done Ill have to live with knowing I'm the one I never even saw her I never even had a chance To ease up on the trigger or take a second glance I'm the Gun

about

Seekers Pass' first album, The Sands of Time, was a concept album that was complicated and intense, and was recorded at a time where the band was "finding itself". After a couple of years of playing in the club scene, primarily in Cincinnati and Dayton, OH, the band started to come into its own with songs that were much more straightforward and accessible. Due to financial and other constraints, the band was never able to record this collection of songs... it was brought back to life and recorded in 2008-9.
